by NFL rule, every flex game except week 17 must be decided 12 days prior to gameday. The decision must be made by Tuesday of this week. At this point, the NFL is notified and notifies teams so they may adjust travel plans accordingly. Then you will see announcements by NBC, the NFL, and the teams involved, so I'm sure we'll know by Tuesday night or Wednesday morning at the latest.

I'm still holding out hope for them to not flex this game. I want to be able to watch it live and won't be able to see the second half if it gets flexed, since my flight is scheduled to be in the air about halftime.

I am torn... I'll watch it either way, but I know my kids are going to the game and have to drive over from the other side of the mountains. They aren't happy to have it flexed. But I'd love to have this be the lone national game being broadcast so the whole country can see the Seahawks whip the butts of the 49ers.

Currently the only other FOX game on that particular afternoon (they could still flex an early game into the slot) is the Bears/Cardinals game, so even if we aren't flexed, do you think most of the nation is going to pick up the Bears/Cardinals or the Seahawks/Niners? I'm betting we'd be in a very high percentage of homes that weekend
